I'm not so sure that it makes sense. I mean, inability to recognize political figures' faces would likely come from either a) complete inattention to news, or b) getting news from mostly text sources rather than mostly video sources. Which means you're either significantly less, or significantly more, informed about the things that matter in voting. Matching names to jobs might be a useful test; matching faces to names is not.

Also, the entertainer questions, including Martin Sheen, were one point each for identification/job, while the important political figures were 8-10 points each. So identifying Martin Sheen as the president wouldn't lose you much.

Personally, I think this is a better quiz for potential casting execs than potential voters.

I mean, I had -no idea- how much like Kevin Kline Harry Reid looks!
